Kale Tagine
This is inspired from my Superfood Series: Get Your Green On, where we cooked 5 dishes with a focus on green leafies.This traditional take on a sweet Moroccan classic is super easy, bursting with flavour and loaded in health boosting spices like turmeric and ginger. And of course the super powerful and all mighty Kale. You can make it in a simple pan with a cover, made more traditional in a Moroccan Tagine. (Available in most specialty kitchen stores.) Serve over quinoa with a green salad and dinner is divine. Optional to add cubed tofu or chicken.
